A travel industry veteran in northern California looks at airlines, trains, hotels, car rentals, and destinations. It's more Marriott than Machu Pichu, more Amtrak than Antarctica - in other words it's everyday travel and not the exotic. And running.

This is a predictable seasonal subject for my blog: super low one-way rates in the spring out of Arizona, and the reverse later in the year back to Arizona.

Hertz has bargain rates of $5 per day for economy or compact cars driven one way from anywhere in Arizona to any Hertz location in California (or Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas).

For just a little more per day, you can rent an intermediate, standard, or full-size car, or a mid-size SUV. Keep in mind that the only additional mandatory cost is tax; there isn't any one-way drop-off fee. And if you rent from a non-airport location in Arizona, you will avoid airport concession fees.

Pick up the vehicle any day starting on 4 April but no later than 30 June. You may rent the car for up to 14 days.

About Me

I've been in the travel industry on and off - mostly on - since 1979. Employers have included airlines, Amtrak, and AAA. In 2009 I began my own enterprise specializing in booking hotel reservations for individual business travelers and small firms. It saves the traveler (or an assistant) the time and trouble of researching hotel rates and locations, and is free to the traveler. Contact me at HotelsAndTrains-at-live.com for more information.
